So When I Send My Husband Off To War, Well, I’m The One Setting It Up So I’ll Always Be More Powerful

Just looked up the number of characters identified as asexual vs aromantic according to Wikipedia and oh man the numbers are really.... not a lot tbh:

59 asexual vs 19 aromantic

59 sounds like kinda a lot but when you think about how that’s spread over tv, film, animation, video games, literature, web comics, graphic novels etc its almost nothing.

And then only 19 aromantic characters, with only 1 of those listed NOT also identifying as asexual (aka 18 are asexual aromantic).

Obviously there might be more ace and aro characters than this, these numbers are just what’s listed on the respective Wikipedia pages, but either way the lack of ace and aro rep in the media is just not good enough.

Ace and aro people deserve to see themselves represented in the media.

Asexuality and aromanticism are not intrinsically linked, one can exist without the other.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

THE LEONARDO'S

This is a group drawing of MM Leo, rise Leo, 2012 Leo, 2003 Leo & 1987 Leo!

All together the drawing took over 7 hours- and I've only rly drawn rise Leo, so I do apologise if they other Leo's look a bit off or arnt character accurate :D

And as per usual with my posts, here are some other progress drawings!

This includes: the sketch, line art, base colours, then finally the edited base colours :3

MJF + dancing to FTR's theme song

Me: Wow, light pink, light blue and grey really go well together. That’s pretty cool I wonder why I’ve never though of having those colors together before

Me two months later after researching the aroace spectrum more in depth: *laughs in cupioromantic*

Me when I found out I was ace

(I actually came up with this in the middle of the night when I was supposed to be asleep)

depression tips™

shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.

moisturize everything. use whatever lotion u like. unscented? dollar store lotion? fancy ass 48 hour lotion that makes u smell like a field of wildflowers? use whatever you want, and use it all over. 

put on clean, comfortable clothes. 

put on ur favorite underwear. cute black lacy panties? those ridiculous boxers u bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? put em on.

drink cold water. use ice. if u want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.

clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink. 

blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.

make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something. 

make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.

go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.

call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.

cuddle your pets if you have them/can cuddle them. take pictures of them. talk to them. tell them how u feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out.

3rd life spoilers btw

I just can’t function at all right now I had no idea what I was getting into when I started watching 3rd life like nggggggghhhhhh the feels are too much for me to handle.

I originally thought that when the last person was alive the would kinda walk around the server a bit and do a bit of reminiscing before they died but Grian just died immedeatly and it hits different now that it’s canon that everyone is still existing on the server so instead of messing around or trying to finish things up Grian just jumped so he could join his friends 

impy says trans rights !! <3<3 ^^

I saw a Reddit post about how greysexuality isn’t real.

(this was a while ago and thankfully it’s been taken down now)

I want to try something: Reblog if you disagree with the statement above. I know I do.
